Pittsburgh's Personalized, Results-Based Physical Therapy Center, located in Bethel Park, PA
An orthopedic injury can be defined as a problem affecting the musculoskeletal system, usually caused by trauma, overuse or recent surgery for musculoskeletal injuries (bones, joints, muscles, and nerves), or even just old age. They may receive a recommendation from their doctor to receive orthopedic therapy as they are more susceptible to stiff muscles and reduced mobility. This usually causes inflammation or redness at the site of problem, which ultimately creates pain and decreased range of motion and mobility. Joe Agnello, PT and his team of experienced care professionals at Agnello Spine & Sports Physical Therapy have a deep understanding of your needs after an orthopedic procedure and can offer many different treatments to help patients in and around the Bethel Park area regain their mobility.
By Joseph Agnello, PT, Cert. MDT
Orthopedic physical therapy is the treatment of issues with the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons) like pain, limited mobility and range of motion. These treatments help patients who have difficulty moving due to injury or illness. The limited mobility can be the result of an accident, sports injury, a chronic condition, or a post-surgical occurrence. Patients usually have some kind of weakness that can be improved with specific targeted exercise workouts and activities to increase mobility, relieve pain and discomfort, and improve the overall physical function. The goal is to make it easier for you to rehabilitate your injuries and help you complete necessary, everyday tasks and activities.
Since the human musculoskeletal system is so large and complicated, there are many different ways that it can be injured. If you play sports or are very active, your chances of suffering from pain are high, specifically like an ankle sprain, back pain, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, torn meniscus, ACL or MCL injuries, rotator cuff tears, or even a fracture. Some people are afflicted by medical conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, bowed legs, plantar fasciitis and arthritis, and these respond well to orthopedic physical therapy as well. Also, due to certain circumstances outside of their control, like genetics or old age, few people are prone to orthopedic injuries. Some may get injuries like carpal tunnel or a herniated disc just by simply moving around and being active.
